Custom background color for selected item with “activatedBackgroundIndicator” Navigation Drawer

Question

This question has been asked a lot on SO, and I have referenced all the answers. I am still left with the default Holo blue background for selected items on my navigation drawe

Answer 1

I have run into this exact problem. The issue is that the background of R.layout.fragment_navigation_drawer_list_item is what needs to be changed to your drawable. Simply add android:background="@drawable/activated_background" to the layout.
